My Dearest One
Well here it is the starting of another month, and I am day or two behind with my
letter. I was busy all day yesterday and am writeing this back at the rear eschlon, I
had to come back with the PTA for the boys. And that reminds me, I guess I wont be
sending any money this month. To many trips to Rome, maby next month I will have some
to send. Honey you say that sunday is your hardest day there, well I hardley know
Sunday comes over here, one day is about the same as another.
Honey I was lucky again yesterday. I got your letter of the 20th also the fruit cake
is sure is good. And Sweetheart you are getting to be past master at writeing letters
how come. But then I guess you are like me, sometimes you can write a lot and then there
are times when it is hard to do. Honey what is the reason you havent been reading, my
guess is that you dont have the time.
Sweetheart if you want a fur coat and can find one that suits you, buy it you know
I told you a long time ago to do as you wanted with the money you get. You and Ann
must have had quite a time. You dident see any GIs with longing eyes did you Ha. Boy I
dont know, this thing writes so small I doubt if I am going to be able to fill more than
half a page. Oh yes I must tell you about my bath in a real bathtub. Yes we found one
in one of the houses up here on the front lines. I even had hot water. It is over by
A Btry. Lt. Redman, that is the new Executive I have now and he sure is a swell fellow
to, we went over yesterday evening late and built a fire in the water heater, boy did
I ever just lay and soak. I believe it is the first time since I was as Sorrento
that I have really been clean. Of course with all this dust I wont say that way very
long. In fact I got pretty dirty this morning coming back here.
Honey I wrote you the other day to know if it was Tip Saunders wife that Bay Robinson
married, but I saw in the paper I got yesterday were it was Charlie Saunders Widow that
he married. I also saw where Dad Kitchel and Mr Salidine found a very peculiar hens egg,
I hope they werent drinking. That old hen sure must have been a good on. Or maby she
was just going in to mass production. I would like to hear more of the particulars about
it, you know the papers kinda get things mixed up once in a while. Honey I stopped long
enough to eat dinner. It was pretty good to, roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and pine
apple for desert not bad hugh. got Mothers box of candy day before yesterday, but I
believe I told you about that before. Honey the cake was the best I have gotten. It was
just a few days over a month coming, At least that was the date on the Souyhwest that
was wrapped around it. And the razor blades came just right, I was on my last
package.
Honey this isnt much of a letter but I jsut can't think of anything more right
now. And to there is quiate a little confusion around back here, S I will sign off for
this time. I wouldent be a bit surprised if your hubby wasent missing his wife just
about like she is missing him
All my love to the one anf only girl in the world.
